Ethics
► The term is derived from the Greek word ethos which can mean custom, habit,
character or disposition. At its simplest, ethics is a system of moral principles.
Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals and society and is also
described as moral philosophy.
► The field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and
recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior.
Ethical Theories
► Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas:
► Meta-ethics
► Normative ethics
► Applied ethics.
Conclusion
Both morality and ethics loosely have to do with distinguishing the difference
between “good and bad” or “right and wrong.” Many people think of morality as
something that's personal and normative, whereas ethics is the standards of “good and
bad” distinguished by a certain community or social setting.
